The Dalai Lama has been a source of inspiration to millions of people around the world. He has won the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent approach to the Chinese lead invasion of his country and has traveled the world spreading the message of peace, compassion and ethics. He is widely considered by many to be the most peaceful man alive. When I need a beacon of hope it is always His Holiness the Dalai Lama that I think of. His autobiography is one of the most inspirational books I have ever read.
